I also feel differently than some of the people that are concerned about the DL. I thought, for the most part, they set the tone in this game. When they were good, occupying blocks, we were good, and when they missed tackles (like on the disastrous TD drive that SDSU had), we weren't good. I think Mike Williams deserves a lot of credit at NT. Harrison was certainly the better all-around player, but I think Harrison was almost playing out-of-position out of necessity (i.e. I think he could have been even better than he was if we hadn't hit some lean years in terms of DL depth). Mike may not post gaudy tackle numbers like Harrison, but he occupies blocks and clogs lanes very well. He totally wrecked SDSU's 4th down and 1 attempt in our end in the fourth quarter to snuff out the Aztecs last chance.

Really glad to see him come back strong after the cardiac issues in the offseason. 

Perhaps I wasn't paying enough attention to Paulson Adebo, but the secondary seemed untested most of the night. Alferi and Toohill seemed to keep making plays, along with Okereke on that absurd play to convert the safety.
